You might try using ide2=0x180,0x386 as the first boot parameter. This worked for my Sony VAIO laptop.

I have a PCMCIA CD/RW drive on one of these lightweight laptops. There is no floppy drive.
It boots the kernel just fine, but it cannot mount the CDROM. I think I need the ide_cs kernel module, but it does not seem to exist anywhere I can get at it. And since there is no floppy drive, I cannot load it that way.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to boot where it can mount the PCMCIA CD/RW drive?
Thanks!

Thanks so much for the suggestion. It still doesn't work, though, unfortunately.
Oddly enough, Mandrake 9 will find the CDROM after loading the ide-cs module (and supporting modules). I rebuilt the initrd filesystem and added those modules (pcmcia_core, yenta_socket, ds, ide-cs), but it still doesn't work. I suppose I could spend a lot of time figuring out how Mandrake is booting, and then re-build the Knoppix kernel and boot method, but it's a bit beyond me and I am out of time and am giving up on this for now.
Hi,
I had the same problem booting from a PCMCIA cdrom.
So I modified the Knoppix bootdisk.
It works for me so it might also work for you.
Give it a try.

Hope that helps.
